Answer 1

At present, my position is at the entry level of management as strategy manager and want to be in the middle level of management in 2 years of time and at the top level of management in 4 tears of time. In present day management, a manager is a leader and vice versa. Hence, I want to be a very good leader while being an efficient manager at all the position and work profile pursued in the coming futuristic time frame of 3 to 5 years. Initially, I will follow the leaders while working with them and developing my own leadership conviction and style and with suitable opportunities, I will assert my own leadership style with equally effective manner, but different from what other leaders in the company have done. My vision will be to become a leader who can transform the team at work so that the team become much bigger and potent that the sum of its parts and involved in continuous change. For this vision, my approach will be to work on the vision myself and set an example to the team and followers to buy my ideas and get motivation to follow my vision and proposed course of action.
I want to be a leader that follows transformational style of leadership. Such leadership style will help me to identify the opportunities for improvement, involving employees to make them realize the benefits awarded after the change and guiding them to achieve the change in my own leadership. My role will be to guide the team by motivating them and driving them in one direction by setting up an example of action taken by myself and then followed by the employees. It creates a sound example to them. Due to this method and style, I can help the organization in making turnaround, implementing emergent change in the organization and or implementing organizational restructuring. A use of transformational leadership with an adequate mix of participation by the employees, will make these initiatives to be more successful in an organizational setting.
